SC Separation & Divorce Attorney Reviews

"McDow & Urquhart literally wrote the book on divorce in South Carolina."

Erin's timely responsiveness to my questions, concerns, and even a few fits of crying along with her sincere compassion were greatly appreciated.

- April H.

They have been knowledgeable, careful, strategic, kind and compassionate. They are unafraid and unconventional when the situation calls for it.

"Erin and Thomas have gone above and beyond what any other attorneys have ever done for me."

- G. Atkinson

McDow and Urquhart, and their office staff, were phenomenal to work with during my divorce. It was a lengthy, multi-step process and they were there every step of the way. They explained what was happening and when other steps would happen,

"They made a complicated legal journey understandable to a lay person."

- Cheryl H.
